The terrapins are having a great time with all this rain we have been having. I have seen them making their way across country, from one water source to another. This particular terrapin inhabits a pool close to the road and has become quite used to vehicles. So while the other terrapins dive for cover, he floats, watching the world go by.
The rainy season is tick season and with the ticks come oxpeckers. These specimens are Red-Billed Oxpeckers and although they do eat parasites, they also dine on the blood and flesh around wounds. They can cause infection and definitely cause irritation.
After downloading my photos to the computer, I was amused by the funny face this giraffe had pulled. I hope it gives you a laugh.
